I am looking forward to my September stay in the US, as we plan really low budget, especially for food, grocery stores like Walmart will be our "daily bread". After 3 weeks I will tell you more what I dislike about american food.

That list could be much longer, we could include songbirds for instance, but perhaps it would be easier to put it the other way — what’s common in Czech cuisine.

And we should differentiate also the parts of animals. Czechs avoid brains, for instance.

Also the way of preparation could be important. Czechs mostly don’t eat raw-meat dishes, the only common exceptions are steak tartare, but even this dish is a no-no for many Czechs like me, dry-cured hams and some kinds of fish.

From this list I have tried mussels, octopuses, frog legs and coypus (nutria). Only nutria was eatable, not much different from rabbit.

I have absolutely no urge to ever eat a mollusc, the same for caviar. Frog is good, but not worth of the fiddly work. I eat rabbits time to time despite I dislike them, so I take you comment on nutria as a recommendation not to try it. I have tried once the oversized jumping rat from Australia (a kangaroo) and was not impressed at all.
